Story

Fiends in Cheong-woon Valley

After beginning his mission to capture the fiends which had escaped from Taotie, Hoyoung traveled to a local tavern of a marketplace and began overhearing a conversation between Ironhide and his drinking partner, Willow. As he listened in, Ironhide mentioned to Willow that, several days ago, one of the mountains in the area had quaked and shook, and that a river nearby had changed its course entirely, with several townspeople claiming that they had begun to see many more monsters around the area since then. As Hoyoung realized that Ironhide was referring to the day that the fiends had escaped, Ironhide mentioned how the town's Information Broker Bureau were looking for answers, and that though they were expensive, their efficacy had made them local heroes.After Willow mentioned that the Handsome Monk of the local temple had gone into seclusion to pray for the town's safety, Hoyoung decided to become a private investigator and find the missing fiends.

Several months afterwards, Hoyoung - after successfully capturing the fiends in Cheong-woon Valley - began eavesdropping Ironhide and Willow's conversation once again, learning how Willow had used the experience of the fiends as inspiration for his next novel. Willow also mentioned that the Handsome Monk had been responsible for saving the town, as Hoyoung had given him the credit while keeping his own involvement anonymous. Taotie then asked Hoyoung why he didn't simply publish his own account of what had really happened. Hoyoung replied that it ultimately didn't matter, as even Master Tai Yu would occasionally work behind the scenes. He laughed to himself, wondering if he had finally earned the chance to use Tai Yu's catchphrase, “I am but a simple wanderer”.

Aftermath

Following the Black Mage's defeat, Hoyoung and Taotie overheard Ironhide and Willow talking about rumors that a new Transcendent was preparing for war in Grandis, as well as a warrior in Pantheon with dragon horns and a tail who was gathering forces to stand against them, though they wondered if even a Nova Guardian had the power to take on a Transcendent.
